Calling Local Authors

***This is a members only event***
If you are not a PWG member, see the membership page.

The day is divided into 2-hour time slots: 10 AM to 12 PM, 12 PM to 2 PM, 2 PM to 4 PM. After theIndies First event last fall, we decided to eliminate the 4 PM to 6 PM time slot because the store doesn’t get a lot of traffic between those hours. For this event we want to put a sandwich board on the sidewalk to encourage drop-in traffic.

Because there won’t be a Christmas tree in the store, we will be able to accommodate additional tables, so authors will have more room to spread out. No more than four authors will be signing at a time. If you have a buddy author you want scheduled with, let me know. Participating authors need to have their books placed on consignment with Carol at BookPeople no later than APRIL 1, 2019 to allow time for creating a display. (Consignment agreement will be emailed to authors selected for inclusion in this event.)

Please share this information with other local authors who might be interested in participating. We want all the time slots full and to support as many local authors as possible. However, there is a limited number to time-slots available, so not all authors will be selected for inclusion in this event.

The Palouse Writers Guild will handle newspaper,
radio, and some social media promotion, however, all authors selected for inclusion
are expected aid in promoting the event.
See links to below for suggestions on promotion and having a successful
book signing.
